Mission-Critical Imaging with Minimal SWaP

Developed specifically for low-payload platforms, the SPECTRUM500 balances mobility, durability, and performance. Its compact frame houses an advanced sensor suite and onboard processing components that allow it to outperform many larger systems.

  • Weight: Only 550 grams optimized for Group 1/2 UAVs and tactical UGVs
  • EO Sensor: 4K 3840×2160 for precision visual targeting
  • IR Sensor: 1280×1024 LWIR for reliable detection in complete darkness, fog, or smoke
  • Zoom: 50x optical zoom enables standoff surveillance from safe distances
  • Ruggedized design ensures performance in harsh environments

Onboard Processing & SPECTRE Integration

Built for integration with the advanced SPECTRE5165 video processor, the SPECTRUM500 supports:

  • Real-time image stabilization, auto-tracking, and low-latency video streaming
  • Seamless command and control over standard serial/UAV protocols
  • Edge computing capability for AI-enabled detection and autonomous behavior

Modular Architecture for Field Flexibility

  • Fully modular design enables rapid sensor swaps, firmware updates, and platform integration
  • Scalable for swarming UAVs or fixed installations
  • Software-defined features reduce lifecycle cost and increase deployment adaptability

Field-Proven ISR Capability in a Compact Package

The SPECTRUM500 offers ISR capability in a compact form, suitable for border surveillance, tactical reconnaissance, and special operations. It combines SWaP efficiency with ISR-grade optics for missions where size, weight, and performance are critical.
